Christmas in Tahoe
Christmas in Tahoe is the eighth studio album and first Christmas album by American rock band Train, released on November 13, 2015 by Sunken Forest Records. The album was made digitally available exclusively on Amazon at the time of its release, as well as being released on CD to most retailers. The album features renditions of twelve traditional Christmas songs and three originals written by the band.
The album was released by other digital retailers on October 27, 2017, and a deluxe edition was made available on CD.
The non-deluxe stock release contains a lyric sheet that mirrors the first 12 songs but not the last three. The tracks that are on this CD are the first 12 listed on the deluxe edition.
On November 28, 2021, the Hallmark Channel aired a movie, Christmas in Tahoe, based on the album. Lead singer Pat Monahan co-starred and was executive producer on the film.
A 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of the album was released on November 21, 2025. This edition featured three new original songs. It also included the original version of "Shake Up Christmas" as the opening track and the song "Mittens" from the Hallmark film.
